The experience of strangeness in IRON LUNG

Well, those of you who follow my posts here on GAMING CONCEPTZ know that I'm a big fan of indie games, especially those that offer strange features that we'd never see in a AAA or more popular title.

This weekend I played IRON LUNG, a one-hour game created by the Polish game designer David Szymanski. I played it on the Nintendo Switch, but it's available on all gaming platforms.

The game's premise is simple: Earth no longer exists. The only remaining humans are those surviving on spaceships and small mechanical moons. Resources are dwindling, and many people are tasked with searching for new places to colonize. In this context, you've found a planet with some initial conditions suitable for human life, but it's covered by an ocean of blood!



Your mission is to dive into a precarious device called the IRON LUNG, a kind of old-fashioned submarine with very limited resources, and explore pre-mapped regions of the ocean, taking pictures for analysis.

The entire game takes place inside the small chamber of the IRON LUNG. It's a claustrophobic experience with a touch of horror, as you navigate blindly through the ocean and gradually realize that something might be lurking in the depths.

Check out the trailer below:



I loved the game's minimalist style and the low poly graphics. It's a classic horror experience!
